“…Consequently, the best proxies for continental vertical motion come from relative sea-level (RSL) change, often observed as anomalous marine inundation of one continent with respect to the mean inundation of all continents [Hallam, 1992]. One of the best examples of such motion is the anomalous subsidence of the western United States during the Cretaceous [Bond, 1976;Cross and Pilger, 1978;Mitrovica et al, 1989] which has been quantitatively linked first to a shallowing dip angle of the Farallon plate subducting beneath North America and the subsequent uplift associated with the demise of subduction [Mitrovica et al, 1989;Burgess et al , 1997; LithgowBertelloni and .…”

“…While these rates are unremarkable, the results suggest that this part of North America experienced long-lived continued subsidence from Cretaceous through Miocene time. Various workers have proposed that this subcontinental-scale subsidence was due to dynamic effects associated with longterm underthrusting of western North America by Pacific basin plates (Mitrovica et al, 1989;Burgess et al, 1997;Heller et al, 2003;Liu and Nummedal, 2004).…”

“…Proposed mechanisms that potentially could drive surface uplift of the Rocky Mountain orogenic plateau include isostatic and dynamic processes related to mantle How, mid-crustal flow, anomalous compositional or thermal changes in the crust and mantle, or rebound related to the fate of the Farallon slab (Dickinson and Snyder, 1979;Morgan and Swanberg, 1985;Severinghaus and Atwater, 1990;Humphreys and Dueker, 1994;Humphreys, 1995;Spencer, 1996;Burgess et al, 1997;McQuarrie and Chase, 2000;Heller et al, 2003). Regardless of the process of origin, if the pattern and timing of incision described here are related to the formation of the velocity anomaly at depth, then our results may constrain when that anomaly began to develop.…”

“…Any sedimentary rocks deposited in the DTL will tend to be eroded, generating an unconformity, the extent of which is similar to the original DTL (e.g. Gurnis et al 1996;Burgess et al 1997). Uplift is further accentuated by denudation and the resultant isostatic rebound, with a damped positive feedback driving further uplift.…”
